FormscanBy Alan Magee - Joseph O’Brien holds a strong hand here and riding arrangements suggest DIGNAM is preferred to Sigh No More. The selection confirmed the promise of his initial two outings when landing the odds at Tipperary and now takes a drop in class and distance after weakening in the closing stages over 1m1f in a Group 3 at Chantilly. Sigh No More beat Saint Brandon in a Galway Festival maiden and followed up at Roscommon, while Bodhi Bear made a promising debut over course and distance last month and should confirm places with Gangsta Man. Rion Rubette showed promise when runner-up to Rebel Diamond here over 6f but needs to bounce back after a disappointing effort at Fairyhouse, while Fiona Maccoul should appreciate this step up in trip.
